What does acre-foot per hour measure?

Acre-foot per hour is a volumetric flow rate representing one acre-foot of water passing each hour, commonly used in water resource management.

Why is gasoline density referenced at 15.5°C?

The density at 15.5°C is a standard reference temperature for liquid fuels, allowing consistent mass flow calculations by accounting for temperature-related density changes.

Can I use this converter for fuels other than gasoline?

This converter is specifically designed for gasoline flow at 15.5°C; using it for other fuels or temperatures may yield inaccurate results.

How is this conversion useful in fuel metering?

It enables translating volumetric flow data into mass flow rates crucial for accurate fuel billing, combustion control, and system calibration.
